[Yua C. <ca...@gz...>]

A java applet would be a nice way to go about it, Ian. :)

The only problem would be client-side file loading... I still believe that 
NTW needs to have a way for customers to load files to be worked on... like 
the text editor widget is almost useless because there's no way for the 
customer to load/save files.  A good example would be something like Open 
Office/MS Office. ;)  lol.  On a more serious note?  I think a solitaire 
program or a tic-tac-toe program would be fairly trivial to write up. :)

What WOULD be a nice example would be a multi-user application, like a "Chat 
Wall" program that stores text messages in a MySQL db and periodically sends 
the 25 latest messages to the users. :)
